Mississippi has adopted HB 6, which will divert some juvenile inmates in large correctional facilities to small community-based rehabilitation centers. The law also mandates the use of statewide teams comprised of school counselors, mental health professionals, social service workers, youth court counselors, and parents of children formerly in the juvenile justice system to counsel nonviolent offenders as an alternative to incarceration.
This legislation was influenced by recommendations from the Dellums
Commission.
